Some spots need extra protection.

Your face takes the hit.

Your nose, ears, and lips burn first.

High points on your face catch the most UV. They burn before anything else. These spots need targeted, heavy-duty protection.

You can't carry a bottle mid-activity.

Running, cycling, water sports — you don't want a 200ml bottle in your pocket. You need something small enough to take with you and use without stopping.

Long efforts need mid-way top-ups.

Four hours in, your face needs more protection. You need something you can reapply in seconds - and something that won't budge once it's on.

Why we built this

Mineral protection that won't budge.

Sometimes you need protection you can apply fast and trust completely. On the mountain, on the water, mid-race. This stick delivers. 100% mineral formula using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Physical barrier that sits on your skin and doesn't budge. Survived a 230km ultramarathon.

What this means for you

Mineral protection that stays put.

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide create a physical barrier. Doesn't break down in sunlight. Doesn't run into your eyes. Pocket-sized for mid-activity top-ups.

What this means for you

Fits in any pocket.

Small enough for running shorts, cycling jerseys, or a hip belt. No lid to lose. Glides on in seconds without breaking stride.

What this means for you

100% mineral and fragrance-free.

No fragrance means nothing to irritate sensitive areas around eyes, nose, and lips. Pure mineral protection.

Every ingredient matters.

Every ingredient matters. We use only what’s needed—nothing more. Our high-performance formulas are built on cutting-edge science and smart ingredient tech. That’s why they work and why we’re different.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY
  • Zinc Oxide + Titanium Dioxide — 100% mineral UV filters. Physical barrier that blocks and reflects rays rather than absorbing them.
  • Synthetic Beeswax — Vegan alternative providing structure and water resistance.
  • Argan Oil + Shea Butter — Moisturisation that prevents drying.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What is an SPF 50+ sun stick?

Our SPF 50+ stick is a type of sunscreen that comes in a solid, stick form. It offers very high protection against harmful UV rays.

Sunscreen on a stick is convenient, portable and easy to apply, especially on hard-to-reach areas. It’s also less messy and less likely to leak, making it perfect for travel.

How is the SPF 50+ Moisturising Lip Protector different to the SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick?

The SPF 50+ Moisturising Lip Protector is designed specifically for everyday lip care. It delvers SPF 50+ UV protection along with deep hydration and repair using shea butter, beeswax, and vitamin E—perfect for preventing chapping, cracking, and dryness.

On the other hand, the SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick is first and foremost a sunscreen made from mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). It is made for larger areas of skin, like your face, nose, ears, and neck to create a physical barrier against the sun.

Can I use the SPF 50+ sun stick on my face, especially if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, our SPF 50+ sun stick is designed for use on both the face and body.

It’s formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin while providing effective skin protection. Often, people with very sensitive skin find mineral sunscreens don't irritate their skin and this product uses 100% mineral UV filters.

In fact, all of our products are clinically and dermatologically tested and approved for use on sensitive skin and are suitable for all skin types.

If you have any questions about specific ingredients, please just give us a shout.

When will I get my order?

We try to get every order out the same day up until 4pm during the week. From then, please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.

Who will be delivering my order and is there tracking?

We use a tracked service for nearly all of our deliveries. You will get an email from us when your order has been despatched which will include the tracking details.

What makes LifeJacket's SPF 50+ sun stick different?

Our SPF 50+ stick is developed and made in the UK with industry experts. It's used and stress-tested by pro athletes, Olympians, and the military.

What if I'm not in when it's delivered?

The majority of our products fit through the average letter box. In the event your order doesn't, Royal Mail will leave a card letting you know they tried to deliver and what the next step is (either your order was left in a safe place or it has been returned to your local sorting office where it can either be collected, or a redelivery booked).

Is the SPF 50+ sun stick water resistant?

Yes, our SPF 50+ sun stick is a 100% mineral sunscreen, designed to be water-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor activities.

We encourage people to re-apply every 2-3 hours, especially after towelling, swimming or sweating.

Built from personal experience.

When several close friends, including Jono, were diagnosed with cancer in their thirties, it changed everything. LifeJacket was born to make everyday skin protection simple, reliable and part of normal life.

    Excellent in strong sun at altitude... Almost awesome :)

    Used at 3000m + in the Ecrins France. Works really well at blocking strong sun.

    Handy size(ish) easy to apply.

    BUT hence the 4* - The bar is a bit too small IMHO and the white from the use on the face doesn't seem to absorb into the skin for ages, it's like a white covering that stops the sun.

    Would I buy it again - Im not sure £16 @rrp seems a lot for a small bar of suncream.

    Pros Non-greasy, Lightweight, High protection, Convenient, Smells great
